Because Of Ron Keeperoliver Chapter Nine

With Harry now knowing Dumbledore's problem, he wanted everything ready as soon as possible. He may not agree with everything he held back from him, but he still did respect him and did not wish to see him die.

Ginny was sitting down to breakfast when Hegwig, Harry's owl landed next to her and had a letter for her. She looked at Harry and he just shrugged his shoulders. Hedwig was her own master and loved Harry because he let her do what she wanted. If she felt she was needed somewhere, she was there to do what was asked of her, provided the person was known and liked by Harry. This one was from Fred and she answered his call.

Ginny took the letter from her and offered her some bangers and eggs which she promptly ate and took off. Ginny opened the letter and laughed at what she read:

My Dear Sister Ginevra (Did I spell it right?)

I have a request for you. Yes, if I have to, I will beg. Let's hope it doesn't come to that though. Would you ask the fuzzy haired beauty you are running with, (Yes, I know that also), if she would agree to go on a Hogsmeade weekend with me, soon?

I know it's sudden like, but I haven't been able to get her out of my mind. As for how I knew it, it's because of Ron. The idiot is complaining to everyone that Harry stole you and Hermione from him and Dean.

I hope it isn't serious between you and her, but if it is, I intend to try and win her from you, just to let you know. I'll probably lose as you are too damn hot for your own good. Don't laugh, you know it's true. Ask Harry, he'll tell you the same thing.

George thinks I'm nuts to be asking my own sister, and the one Hermione fancies, for help, but who better to ask. If you help me, I will send you an assortment of our newest products via Hedwig, who always comes through for us. I was going to use Spectre for this letter, but when Hedwig was waiting for me last night, I had to use her. OH, by the way, Spectre is George and I's new delivery specialist. Bloody brilliant and almost as smart as Hedwig. Not near as pretty though.

I hope you are proud of me as I have just written the longest letter I ever wrote. I love you sis, and I will love you even more if you do this for me.

You're loving and dearest brother:

Frederick Gideon Weasley The First

Rather than ask, she handed the letter to Hermione and watched as she went through five different shades of red as she read the letter. Harry was reading it over her shoulder and was laughing so hard he nearly choked on some bacon. Lavender had to slap him on the back to clear his throat. He was still laughing as he was coughing up the piece of bacon.

Harry finished his breakfast and him, Hermione and Lavender left for DADA and were joined by Daphne outside the hall. They started to walk to the stairs when Harry's name was called and he turned to see Draco coming for him. Harry had his wand in his hand under his robes at the ready.

Draco stopped about a meter from the group and started, "Potter, I don't know what you are doing to the Dark Lord, but what ever it is, Aunt Bella wishes to thank you for helping her get my Mother out from the control of the Death Eaters. She said mother would have been in big trouble if she had stayed there. I don't know where she is, but, and this is hard for me, Thank You for doing what ever you are doing. Just don't expect me to be doing this again, as it gives me a headache trying to build up the courage to stoop this low."

"Damn Malfoy, I think you are the only person in the world who can say thank you and fuck you in the same thought."

Harry almost fell down when Malfoy began laughing. And then of all things, he joined them on the walk down to the DADA class. Harry wondered what the hell was going on in the world. Malfoy laughing at something he said, as if he thought it funny. He laughed at Harry before, but it was Harry he was laughing about, not something he said.

They had just gotten into the room when Professor Snape told Harry that he was wanted in the Headmasters office. He started to leave when Severus called out, "I think you forgot something Potter, your girlfriends are wanted as well. If you would have listened to me you would have known I wasn't finished."

Harry turned and looked at the Professor and couldn't believe the Professor didn't have a snide look on his face. It was actually a friendly face. Once again Harry thought to himself, OK, this is just too weird. What else can get him to talking to himself.

Harry, Hermione, Lavender and Daphne were soon joined by Luna and Ginny as they were let out of class as well. Now Harry was wondering what was going on with the seven. He thought about it, and thought he wouldn't be surprised if when they got to the office, Fleur and Tonks were there waiting for them as well.

When they got there, Harry's thoughts became real as they were there waiting for them, but then again, so was Bill Weasley. Harry looked to Ginny and she didn't know what was going on.

Harry then looked to the headmaster and saw how weak he looked and actually felt sorry for him. Sirius told him he was in great pain.

"Thank you Harry and friends, for responding so quickly. I see the question in your eyes, and I have to tell you that Fleur had a feeling of guilt and she confessed to William and he thinks you need to talk to him and he asked for the girls to be here for a reason. William, if you would please."

"Thank you Professor. Potter, Would you please explain this garbage you filled Fleur with about some ritual you wish to perform to do away with Voldemort?"

Rather than explain, Harry asked for the book from Hermione and he then handed it to Bill, after he found the correct page the ritual was on. Bill read it and then turned back to Harry, "What was it you said to Ginny about having an outer body meeting with it's creator?"

This time Harry had to tell him what happened and how it could be changed if someone didn't want to go through with it completely. He didn't mention any names though.

"So, the virgin still has to give in freely to you, but does not have to get pregnant."

"It's not necessary for her to get that way."

"Will you tell me who she is?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because it is none of your business. Besides she didn't give me permission to tell anyone else besides our group."

"Don't get snotty with me Potter."

"I'm not Bill. I'm telling you what the girls have told me about our secrets. They don't want anyone to know for a very good reason. If you doubt me or any of the ladies here, then ask Madam Pomfrey. She won't tell you who, but will tell you what we are doing is for real and she will be assisting in the ceremony."

Now the Professor stepped in, "AH, there will be a slight addition to this as well Harry. Madam Pomfrey will be assisted by Professor McGonagall as well to make sure nothing goes wrong. This is Poppy's wish, not mine. As for me, If something else were to come about by this, I wish to thank you now for it." he said as he patted his right arm. Harry just nodded his head.

Harry then turned back to Bill, "Bill, it was not my decision to ask Fleur to join us, it was hers. She did it for a reason she will tell you, if she so desires. If you do not wish her to partake in the ritual, I understand."

Bill looked to Fleur and saw the look in her eyes, "I may be simple, but I'm not stupid, Harry. If Fleur has it in her mind to help you with this, who am I to stop her."

"You are the one to ask her to marry you, so you do have a say in the matter. If you say no, then it doesn't matter what Fleur thinks. Listen to what I have to say before you hit me Fleur. It was your decision to be a part of this and you asked we not say anything to Bill. Yet you told him what you planned to do and now you are telling him no matter what he says you are still going to do it. You do know that Remus knows and agrees to Tonks being a part of this. If he said no, then she would not be a part of it. If Bill says no, then you will not be a part of this."

Fleur took Bill by the hand and pulled him off to a corner, "Bill, if it is a chance to be rid of this Voldemort for good, then I say you should agree. You know that I am not the virgin in the group and I will still be the one standing at your side when you marry. Does it bother you to know someone I sleep with?"

"Hell yes it bothers me. I love you Fleur and it hurts me to think you will have slept with someone I know who is like a part of our family. I may not like it, but I will agree if you promise me it will not be you getting pregnant."

Rather than answer for now, she took him back to the group and had him read the chapter again. He did and saw that a part of the ritual was for the six non-virgin members to have the contraceptive spell as a part of the ritual. For the seventh one, it is up to the virgin if she wishes it to be cast on her. He looked back up to Harry and said, "Fleur wishes to be a part of this, and even though I have my doubts, I agree with your plan and her part in it."

Harry loooked back to the Professor, "Sir, do you have any idea when it should be done?"

"That I do Harry. Since you have the full amount now, it should be done this weekend, say Friday evening so that you will all have the weekend to recoup from your ordeal. And Bill, just to let you know, it has been confirmed by a reliable source that Harry is indeed hurting the dark lord with his playtime. Badly, I might add. Where Harry is back at it within minutes, it takes Voldemort a full night to get back his strength, and it is affecting his mind each time it is done to him. I have been told he is going mad."

"Is that good or bad, as I already thought he was quite mad?"

"Not quite mad enough to kill his own people like he is currently doing. No, this is a different kind of mad, and it is good for us."

"Can Fleur return home with me, or does she have to remain here, until the ceremony is completed?"

"That is up to Fleur. I don't see any reason for her to stay, but I think she needs to be here the night before to go through a dry run of the ritual, as will Miss Tonks. However, I think she is staying here for a very particular reason. It is that time of the month, is it not Miss Tonks?"

Tonks laughed as she saw the look on Harry and Bill's faces, "Ya, it is, but not for me, it's for Moony you idiots. So, I'm good to go, and I would like to take a shot at the good lord Frankenstein before the fall."

Fleur wished to know what she meant by that, "Well, you see Fleur, Harry told us all about his party in the graveyard and what it took to bring old Fankie baby back. A piece of this guy, some blood from this guy, the bones from another guy. Frankenstein's monster was like that as he was different people put to gether to make one."

"OH yes, I remember now. It was at the end of the Tournament. I'm sorry for that Harry. Was your friend a part of this puzzle you call Voldemort?"

"No, thank goodness. He was left alone and whole, even though he was dead."

"Now, what do you mean by taking a shot at him, Tonks?"

"When ever Harry has fun, Frank goes through a shite load of pain. I want to be a part of that."

Fleur was thinking of the night before the ritual and maybe taking a shot at him herself with Harry. What Bill doesn't know won't hurt him. He was expecting her to have sex with Harry anyway, so why not a day earlier.

Harry and his ladies, except for Fleur were released to go. Tonks wanted to go back as she didn't know where she would be staying, but Hermione stopped her and told her, "It's OK Tonks, we have a place for you that can be as posh as you want it or as ordinary as you want it. It's also the place where the ritual will be held. Unless you would rather take a bunk with Ginny. She has spare beds in her dorm."

"As posh as I like it you say? And you want to know if I'd rather bunk with a mate? Are you insane girl? Of course I'll take posh over roomies."

They all broke up and went to their next class, while Tonks went to the Library to find something interesting to read. She had to kill time somehow, so reading would do it. She went to the restricted section and found one on Werewolves and pulled it out to read. She was finding it facinating when she came upon something that may be added to to the ritual. It also took seven people to complete it and if she could get them all to agree then maybe there will be someone else that could be cured. She found a piece of parchment in the drawer of the desk she was sitting at and copied the spell for the others to see.

She still had another hour to kill before Harry and the rest were through for the day, so she kept reading.

Finally it was time to join the others and she went to the Main Hall to wait for them and join them for dinner. She didn't think she would draw attention to herself, but when Harry sat with her, as well as Hermione, Ginny, Lavender, Daphne and Luna, Ron started up once again. "What the hell is this Potter. Pulling trollops off the street now are you? Wait, isn't that Nymphadora Tonks sitting with you?"

Ron never saw it coming, as he was hit with a spell that caused his tongue to swell so big, it became impossible for him to speak. He couldn't eat either, so he went hungry that evening. All he could do was drink and that was with difficulties.

With their dinner now protected from further disruption, they all ate and talked amoung themselves. Nothing to do with their plans. Mostly what Tonks could expect from her room and what she felt she needed as necessities and wished for in luxury. She also told them that she had something to discuss when they were alone. She was hoping for the best when she asked. She knew Harry, Ginny and Hermione would agree. It was the others that she wasn't sure of, especially Daphne.

Once they finished their supper, they headed back to their dorm to deposit their books and went to the RoR, where Hermione created the room that Tonks asked for. When the door formed, she opened it for Tonks to go through and almost walked into her when she suddenly stopped. "What's the matter Tonks?"

"Bloody Hell, I wasn't expecting Buckingham Palace. This place is right out of a dream I once had." and she walked through so the rest could enter. The others found it as grand as Tonks described it.

Ginny went right to the bed and said, "Looks like Tonks got herself a room mate after all. She can have the couch, as I claim the bed." she was joined by Luna and Lavender on the four poster.

Harry, Daphne, Hermione and Tonks went to the couch and Tonks said, "Merlin, but I think I could agree to that as this couch is bloody brilliant."

They all decided to keep their spots as Tonks began her findings. "Listen, I know this may be asking an awful lot of you guys, but I found something that could cure another one stricken with a malady." and she pulled the spell out she found in the book. She handed it to Harry and he wanted to cry, it meant so much to him, Tonks and Remus. He handed it to Hermione next and she decided it would take too long for each one to read it, so she read it herself, "The curse of the Lycan can be countered with an act of love that is more powerful than the curse. It takes the willingness of seven people to proclaim their love for the one who is cursed and to cast the spell as it is proclaimed. The love does not have to be one of a lover. It can be as a friend, family or a debt. The sex of the one making the spell is of no concern, but the love has to be true."

When Hermione finished reading it, there were no comments at first, but soon everyone was in agreement. Daphne spoke her mind at this, "Professor Lupin was the only one that actually taught us something in class and I, for one, appreciated it. I wished he had stayed as our Professor and was in tears when Professor Dumbledore said he wouldn't be returning. So yes I will be helping him and hope to find him back in school next year teaching once again, without this curse."

Tonks was all misty eyes as she heard what was said. Even if Fleur refused to help, Harry would be the seventh one to cast the spell, so it was set.

Hermione then showed them the rune that was needed for the spell against Voldemort. It was a circle that had eight spots for the start. Harry would be at the top and then it would go left to right starting with the oldest. Which would be Tonks, then Fleur followed by Hermione, Daphne, Lavender, Ginny then Luna, even though she was older than Ginny. Luna had to go last as the virgin. Her blow would be the final nail for Tom's coffin.

They then practiced the chant for the ritual and the spell that needed to be cast and then followed by the spell for Remus. Without the sex, it took fifteen minutes. With it, was too hard to figure out. Hermione did have something Harry would need to take to help him through the evening. It was a sperm revitalizing potion he needed to take after each coupling. Harry questioned this as he didn't know if it would affect the ritual. Hermione reminded him that if it was not mentioned in the book, then it would not affect the spell. Anything that improved their chances had to be used. Finally Harry agreed.

Then Tonks asked Harry if he wanted to give it another shot for Frankie's bout of pain. Harry was ready, but had to ask something that was bothering him about what Remus was going through right now. "Tonks, can I ask you a question?"

"Can it wait until we are done?"

"I may not be able to ask it after we are done."

"OH, right, I forgot. Sorry. Go ahead and ask, but keep it short, will you."

"Sirius told me that the Marauders became Animagi to help Remus through his transformation. Why can't you change and help him as well. Being an metamorphmagus should make it easier for you?"

"You know Harry, that is the most logical question I can remember coming from your mouth. Hermione is a wonderful influence on you. However, the answer is not so simple. You see, when Sirius changes, he actually becomes a dog. When I change I am still me, not a dog. Now I know what your next question will be and I can tell you there is a major difference between the two. My scent is still that of a human, where as Pads is the scent of a dog. No difference to you or me, but to Pads and Moony, with their super sense of smell, it is like a beacon being shined on me for Moony to see. I don't know if he would harm me, but there is no way he is ever going to take that chance. Does that answer your question?"

"Ya, I think so. But it is a shame, unless of course our plan works. Then it's who cares. Well, does anyone else wish to join us in our playtime. Or will you be pairing off with someone else.?"

Once again Luna sat and watched Harry and this time Tonks. Hermione and Daphne joined each other as well as Ginny and Lavender.

Luna wanted to watch Harry because she wanted to make sure she was good for him on that night. Never having done it before, she didn't know if she would be enough for him to finalize the ritual. She was sure she would come, but it was Harry she was worried about. And she still wanted the child from the coupling and Sirus did as well. She hadn't said anything to the others, but Sirius did ask her to marry him when she finished school and she accepted. Then she thought about her final year of school and the child. It would not be born yet when school started.

When she got back to Harry and Tonks, he already had her clothes off and was sucking on her nipple while playing with her other breast. Harry had his tongue going and it was driving Tonks mad with desire. She was yelling out his name to keep it up and she would cum quarts for him. When Luna heard this, she broke out in laughter. "Cum quarts, how funny. Cum quarts, cumquarts, cumquats. Harry, dinner is being served."

Harry never heard the joke as he was beginning to feel Tonks building for a huge explosion and wanted to get her there, yet not reach his own just yet. Tonks was the oldest of the lovers, but she was not lacking in her energy. She was putting Harry through his paces as she was building for a mind blowing orgasm. She had her fingers woven in Harry's hair and her legs wrapped around him in a death grip. There was no way Harry was getting away from her, not that he wanted to.

Then it happened and she was screaming his name at the top of her lungs telling them all she loved it and wanted more just like it. Harry was only too happy to oblige. For another half hour they were at it. The others had to take a break as they were wore out, and they watched, like Luna, at what was going on, on the couch. Tonks had taken the top and was riding Harry like he was a horse, only Harry was facing up with his cock buried deep in her pussy. Now Harry began his drive for the finish and Tonks was equal to the task and they drove hard to peak together. Then with one sudden huge push, they climaxed together and Tonks watched as Harry passed out, but with a huge smile on his face. She watched as it even changed while he was out to a bigger grin. Something nice must be happening. Then for the first time, Harry shared his vision with his lover and Tonks watched as Voldemort was rolling on the floor in pain and Bella off to the side enjoying what was happening. So, what Narcissa said was true and Bella was liking what was going on.

The other girls saw Tonks as she was seeing the vision in her mind, but was telling it to the others. Ginny and Hermione wondered why it was Tonks who was the only one to see what was happening. Then there was an explosion in the room and they all turned to see what happened and a crown of some sort fell to the ground by the couch. Luna picked it up and said, "This looks like Lady Ravenclaw's Tiara." then she dropped it again as it burned her finger.

In Gringotts there was another explosion deep in it's underground where a cup went the same way the tiara went. In the Ministry, there was something even worse as a locket that was being worn around a neck exploded killing the person wearing it, and Delores Umbridge was no more. And in the same chamber that Voldemort was in, there was also one that took the life of Nagini, Tom's familiar. Tom himself was curled up in a ball trying to ease his pain. Bella was laughing at what was going on. The wall where Nagini was curled up against was smeared with her blood and the floor was slippery with her remains.

All of this Tonks was seeing and passing it on to the rest. Harry was seeing an end to it all very soon.

Harry finally came around and was surprised to find all the girls sitting around Tonks as she told them all what Harry saw. How could she know what he saw since he just woke up. Tonks saw his confussion and told him, "I saw it all Harry. What ever you saw, I saw it as well. What the hell were all those things that exploded?"

"I think this has to be explained by Professor Dumbledore, and I don't think it can wait. I feel this is very important to him and he would like to know as soon as possible." and they made the trip back to his office where they found him awake and reading. When they sat down and Harry explained what happened, Albus jumped up and went to his trinkets and found the one he wanted and saw it was lifeless.

He turned back to his guests and said, "Harry, the way is open to you now. There is nothing in the way to stop you. When you first told me of your ritual, I was skeptical, but kept it to myself for fear of dashing your hopes. However, with you and the group you have around you, I should have known better. Three of the five members that went with you to the Ministry are with you again and this time you have sent a terrible blow to Voldemort, destroying all his Horcurxes."

When Tonks heard this she yelled out, "OF COURSE! That was why I witnessed it, to back Harry when he said it to you. He had to let someone else know what was going on. He may not have thought it, but in his subconscious he sent his image to my mind and I passed it on to the rest."

Now Hermione knew why Tonks was the only one to see one of Harry's visions. She thought further on it and asked Dumbledore, "Sir, with us knowing the power of seven, I think Voldemort did as well. With what was destroyed this evening, that leaves three yet to find."

"That is a brilliant observation Miss Granger, however, Harry destroyed one in the Chamber of Secrets in his second year. I destroyed one this year and it was the cause of my ailment. As for your last one, Miss Greengrass destroyed it not long ago with Harry. You remember when Harry said he saw Tom's head bleeding where Harry has his scar? Well I think Harry was the seventh Horcrux and love was the thing that destroyed it, like it destroyed all the others this evening. As a matter of fact, I think it did something else as well, as my arm does not hurt me anymore, and the rest of me is doing well also. I may not be cured, but I have the use of my arm and hand again."

The girls all held Daphne in a hug for what she did for Harry and Harry was shaking hands with Albus. Then Harry said they all should be heading back to their dorms, but instead he called for Dobby and Dobby had them all safe and sound in all their dorms, or in Tonks case, her palace.

Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Lavender weren't ready for bed quite yet and sat down to talk, when Dean came over and sat with them to talk as well. To one of them in particular. "Ginny, I know what you said about me if anything should come between you and Harry, but I'm afraid I have fallen for someone else. She doesn't know it yet, but I'm about to cure that. Lavender, Ron was an idiot for the way he treated you and Hermione. Although Ginny and I were together in the start of the year, we both knew we were not meant for each other. Not that I didn't want it to be mind you. Hell Ginny has had her eyes set on Harry since the start of school five years ago. Harry, you have been as big an idiot as Ron for the way you ignored Ginny. Merlin knows you even saved her life. What kind of a wake up call do you need?" Dean was hoping he didn't cross the line with his statement.

Harry looked at Dean and then he broke out in another laugh, "Son of a bitch, but I think I am a punching bag for all the males in Hogwarts this year. Thanks for the wake up call Dean, but I already made up my mind on who I like thank you. Lavender, Daphne and Luna all know it isn't them, though they are all fine choices. You know that Tonks and Fleur are taken, and it looks like Hermione may soon be off the market as well. So things worked out perfectly for me and Ginny, don't you think Gin?"

Harry didn't like the color changes going on in Ginny's face. She was ready to explode like one of the Horcruxes did this evening. Then it happened, "You Son Of A Bitch! You knew all this time and didn't say anything to us except you had one in mind. You didn't have the courtesy to tell me how you felt about me? This is how you tell me you like me? And then you ask me if I thougjht it all worked out perfectly? I have a good mind to just drop out of your little club. See what happens to you then."

Harry was quite contrite with his answer, "You have that right Gin and I wouldn't blame you if you did. But then all the work we had done would have been for nothing. I also thought that you had a connection with someone else and there was no way I was going to come between you two. I'm sorry that I am so stupid when it comes to love, but I never knew it while growing up. What it took to be in love, or what it meant. Or how to fall in love and what it felt like to be there. You grew up with love all around you, so you had a good idea what it took to fall in love."

"Damn you Harry, how can any one stay mad at you when you have answers like that?"

"Now you know how I felt for six years. I could never stay mad at Harry, and I could never see a moment when I wouldn't be mad at Ron. What I ever saw in him, I don't know. I'm sorry Ginny, but Ron is not the loving type."

"What are you telling me for? I all ready knew that and I tried telling you about it, but you had it in your mind you could change him. Lavender was the one to show you what he was like and I'm sorry to say it happened to her as well." and when she turned to say something else to her, she saw her in the arms of Dean and they were kissing. "Sorry you're taking it so hard Lavender. I hope Dean can get you over it." and she laughed.

Harry saw it as they may have to look for a new seventh member, but Lavender fooled him when she told Dean, "Dean, there is something I have to do with Harry before we can get together, and you may not like it. But I have to let you know that what we are doing could mean the end to Voldemort."

"Then do it and get it over with and don't let me get in your way. If what you say is true, then you have to do it and you can do it with my blessings." and he kissed her again and she melted in his arms.

Ginny saw this and said, "Well Dean still has the ole charm working I see. I don't think you have to worry about anything Harry. She is still a member of the team."

The next morning Daphne joined them for breakfast and told them the news that Draco wished to date her on the next Hogsmeade visit and everything was looking good for when it was all over.
